The Star River Empire, Planet Qiongcang.
Deep within the Imperial Palace.
*Crack~*
Upon hearing the information, Emperor Mo Junlin crushed the wine glass in his hand, spilling the ruby-red grape wine.
"What!"
"The Heavenly Wolf Empire... was annihilated by the seven Venerables led by Emperor Xiaoyao, along with over a hundred forces!!"
Upon hearing this news, Mo Junlin leaped to his feet, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement. The Heavenly Wolf Empire was the nemesis who had killed his father. Now that the Heavenly Wolf Empire was destroyed, how could Mo Junlin not be happy?
It could be said that the Star River Empire was the happiest of all regarding the destruction of the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
"Guards!"
After much thought, Mo Junlin's majestic voice boomed out, and a Ninth-Tier Great Emperor immediately appeared in the hall.
"Pass down the decree: effective immediately, the entire Star River Empire will be under martial law. All forces and powerhouses belonging to the Star River Empire are forbidden from arbitrarily engaging in conflict with other empires. This applies to all guest elders as well. Violators will be severely punished!"
"Yes, Emperor!"
Hearing Mo Junlin's command, the Ninth-Tier Great Emperor respectfully responded before retreating from the hall to execute the order.
He dared not slacken in the slightest regarding the Emperor's decree.
However, the news of the Heavenly Wolf Empire's destruction soon spread throughout Planet Qiongcang.
"Hey, have you heard? The Heavenly Wolf Empire has been destroyed!"
"Really? You're kidding, aren't you? How could that be? Emperor Ba was a Venerable-level powerhouse!"
"It's true. You still don't know, do you? This time, the Heavenly Wolf Empire angered everyone. Emperor Xiaoyao, a second-tier Venerable from the Xiaoyao Empire, took action. Now the Heavenly Wolf Empire is in chaos..."
"My goodness, the mighty Heavenly Wolf Empire, which has stood strong for hundreds of years, is gone just like that..."
.......
Chattering and excited voices erupted from all corners of Planet Qiongcang. Numerous forces, auction houses, and the like spread the news from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, like a hurricane reaching every corner of the planet.
This was not limited to the Star River Empire; other surrounding forces and empires were experiencing the same.
They all strictly guarded their borders. For a time, even empires engaged in conflict ceased hostilities. Undoubtedly, this was one of the few positive ripple effects of the Heavenly Wolf Empire's demise.
If Emperor Ba knew this from the netherworld, perhaps he could also find some 'peace of mind.'
Within three days, the territory of the Heavenly Wolf Empire was completely divided among the forces of the Xiaoyao Empire. The biggest beneficiaries were the Xiaoyao Empire itself, as Emperor Xiaoyao's strength was the greatest, and he seized forty percent of the Heavenly Wolf Empire's territory.
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want more territory. It was that if the Xiaoyao Empire were to demand more, it might provoke a backlash from all the other empires and forces.
Even though the Xiaoyao Empire's strength far surpassed that of other empires and forces, they could not afford to be enemies with so many factions simultaneously.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The fervor surrounding the destruction of the Heavenly Wolf Empire was quickly overshadowed by new events. As for the Heavenly Wolf Empire, it had clearly become a part of history for various empires and forces. Few even paid attention to it. After all, there were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of empires in this region. Who would dedicate more thought to a mere Heavenly Wolf Empire?
In one month, Ye Xuan had toured the Star River Empire with his family, visiting numerous famous planetary relics, which greatly delighted the three little ones.
They saw many interesting planets and scenery. Eliv successfully advanced to Ninth-Tier Great Emperor and officially led the Atlantean Planet to join the Xuan Alliance, becoming an elder of the Xuan Alliance, with status equal to the three Sinners.
On this day.
In the Ye Royal Mansion, the training grounds.
Feng Chen, Ling'er, and Mo Xuanyou were sparring. The ice river beast clone nodded with satisfaction from the side, clearly pleased with the performance of the three little ones.
Ye Xuan watched the scene in the field, then looked towards the direction of the Longyang Empire, "It seems it's time to leave."
In this past month, Ye Xuan's realm had also advanced to Ninth-Tier Great Emperor Peak, and he was not far from the ultimate stage of Ninth-Tier Great Emperor Peak.
Luo Tianyi looked at the man lying on the lounge chair, paused for a moment, then came to his side, watching the training grounds together, "Are we leaving?"
This past month, Luo Tianyi had been truly happy and joyful.
Of course...
She also understood that to maintain this peace and provide a sanctuary for their children, they needed sufficient strength.
"Yes."
"However, before we leave, I have a gift for you."
With that said, Ye Xuan took Luo Tianyi's hand and flashed away, disappearing from the training grounds. In the next moment, they appeared in a room deep within the Ye Royal Mansion.
Then, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand, and a drop of blood, as vibrant and fiery as a beautiful flower, appeared. It was the ancestral phoenix essence blood that Mo Junlin had given Ye Xuan. Of course, Mo Junlin was unaware of the origin of this drop of blood.
"What is this?"
Luo Tianyi's gaze fell upon the drop of blood before her, which seemed to be burning with flames. At this moment, the temperature of the room rose significantly, with a noticeable heat.
Although Luo Tianyi did not know what it was, judging by the reaction caused by this single drop of blood, it was clearly an extraordinary essence blood.
"Heh heh, no need to hide it from you, my dear wife."
"Actually... this is a drop of ancestral phoenix essence blood, which I obtained by chance."
Ye Xuan did not hide it, smiling slightly. After all, when Luo Tianyi's bloodline eventually reverted to its ancestral form, she would know sooner or later. It was only a matter of time.
"Ancestral Phoenix Essence Blood??"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Luo Tianyi was startled, and her gaze towards the drop of essence blood changed.
"This... is actually the legendary phoenix essence blood, and it's ancestral?"
Although she did not fully understand what ancestral phoenix meant, one thing was certain: this drop of essence blood was definitely more precious than ordinary phoenix essence blood.
"Husband, you... using something so precious on me?"
"Isn't that too wasteful!!"
*Dong~*
As soon as Luo Tianyi's voice fell, a flick hit her forehead. The pain caused Luo Tianyi to instinctively cover her head with her slender hand.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about."
"It's just a drop of essence blood from a colorful pheasant. It's nowhere as important as you."
He rolled his eyes at his wife, Ye Xuan said dotingly, "If you say such foolish things again, your husband is going to reassert his dominance."
"Alright, hurry up and refine it. I'll assist you."
With his voice falling, Ye Xuan no longer hesitated. He directly exchanged the formation mentioned by Nai from the system, which would minimize the ferocity of the ancestral phoenix essence blood.
"This... Hmm."
Luo Tianyi naturally understood that this was her husband's way of protecting and doting on her. Although a little overbearing, as a woman, she felt very happy and enjoyed it.
Following that, Ye Xuan placed his palm in front of his woman. In the next moment, all her clothes turned to dust, and Luo Tianyi's face instantly flushed crimson.
"Focus your mind, I'm starting!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's serious voice, Luo Tianyi quickly took a deep breath, no longer lost in thought. At this time, Ye Xuan began to engrave the formation patterns, as described by the system, onto Luo Tianyi's delicate body. What was even more fatal was that this formation was reinforced using top-grade Emperor Crystals as its foundation. If the Elf clone knew of this, would he jump up and shout, "Damn it, the main body is too wasteful! Those are top-grade Emperor Crystals!"
